Cookie policy
Dewaele Vastgoedgroep and its affiliated companies, which can be found here (hereinafter called, ‘Dewaele Vastgoedgroep’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’), are using cookies and similar technologies on our websites. To keep it simple we hereinafter refer to the cookies and the similar technologies as “cookies”.
On the basis of this cookie policy we want to inform you about which cookies we use on our websites, why we do so and how you can delete or turn off the cookies.
1. What is a cookie?
Generally, a cookie is a small text file or number file that we send and store in your web browser, on your mobile device and/or on the hard drive of your computer when you visit our website. Cookies help us, for example, to remember your preferences when using our website (e.g. your choice of language), unless you have adjusted your browser settings so that those cookies are rejected.
2. Which cookies are used?
There are several kinds of cookies. Cookies can be subdivided according to their origin, function and life span.
First-party cookies are cookies that we manage ourselves. We do so for example to ensure that our website functions properly. This enhances the quality of our online services.
Third-party cookies are cookies that are placed by a domain name other than the one of our website. If you visit our website and a third party places a cookie through our website, this is a third-party cookie. Through a third-party cookie, specific data can be sent to this third party via your visit or use of our website. For cookies placed by third parties, we refer you to the statements provided by these parties on their respective websites. Please note that we cannot exercise any influence on the content of those statements, nor on the content of the cookies of these third parties.
The first-party cookies and the third-party cookies can be further subdivided into, among others:
Indispensable or strictly necessary cookies are (as their name implies) necessary to use a website, to provide certain features you request, and to ensure a secure identity verification;
Functional cookies are cookies that make sure that the website functions properly. They keep track of information about your choices and preferences on our website (e.g. cookies for remembering login or registration, your language preference, products in your shopping cart). Functional cookies are logically first-party cookies.
- Non-functional cookies are cookies that can be placed for statistical, social, targeting and commercial purposes. They have nothing to do with the mere technical support of the website. Non-functional cookies can be first-party or third-party cookies.
Cookies with statistical purposes allow, among other things, to track which pages of the website you visit, where your computer is located, etc. (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar).
Cookies with social purposes allow the user to directly share the content of the visited website with others via social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube).
Cookies with targeting purposes allow building a profile based on your browsing behaviour so that the displayed ads are tailored to your interests (Facebook).
Cookies with commercial purposes keep track of how many and which ads were shown to a user (Google Adwords and Bing ads).
Cookies can also be divided according to their life span:
Permanent cookies: These cookies remain on the user's device for the duration defined in the cookie. They are activated each time the user visits the website that has placed this cookie (e.g. cookies placed by social media such as Facebook, Google Analytics, etc.). Most non-functional cookies are permanent cookies.
Session cookies: These cookies allow us to simplify and link the actions of a user during a browser session. A browser session starts when a user opens the browser window and ends when the browser window is closed by the user. Session cookies are placed temporarily. As soon as you close the browser, all session cookies are deleted. Most functional cookies are session cookies.
3. Information about the use of cookies on our websites
Our websites use strictly necessary and functional cookies in order to, for example, distinguish your user preferences from the ones of other users of our website, to display the website in your preferred language, to easily navigate between different sections of our website, to be able to identify you and to remember your login details, etc. This helps us to provide you with a better user experience when you visit our website and also allows us to optimize our website.
